Annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper returns to St. Andrew’s Parish

CHELAN – With the lifting of health restrictions, St. Andrew’s Parish will again roll out the pancakes at the traditional feast-day supper before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. This starts the 40 days leading up to Easter.
“Our pancake supper at St. Andrew’s, is a fun celebration that other communities may refer to as either Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras,” said Marci Hale, St. Andrew’s ECW president. “We Episcopalians follow the Anglican tradition that originated with King Henry VIII in England and feast with a hearty dinner of fresh-made pancakes, blueberry pancakes, ham, applesauce and beverages. Everyone is welcome as it’s a great family dinner.”
Planned from 5–7 p.m. on Feb. 21, in the parish hall, the Shrove Tuesday Pancake dinner is a long-time event at the historic log church at 120 East Woodin Avenue in Chelan. Pancake suppers have been celebrated locally for more than 114 years making it one of the longest-enjoyed events in the Chelan Valley.
Pancake suppers are priced at $5 for adults, $3 for children and only $10 for families. Early arrival is recommended, as the event has experienced high demand in previous years.
